Doggy 130 Report post Posted May 9, 2009 Conn Smythe is MVP of the playoffs. Getzlaf leads the NHL in points right now. He deserves it. Without Hiller, The Ducks would not of beat the top seed Sharks. Neids deserves a nod, but not in the top 3! (He did do a great job shutting down your top line until Thursday!) First off, I never debated against Getzlaf. Niedermayer in the top 3 is a really bad joke and Hiller has been the fourth most influential GOALIE in the playoffs behind Varlamov, Ward and Luongo. Yet for some reason he's number 1 for all players. Okay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincanni 1 Report post Posted May 9, 2009 An absolute joke of a list. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of statistics would understand that the higher the odds of Hiller being the Conn Smythe the lower his teammates chances should realistically be as they'll have to outperform Hiller. Even if the Ducks where in the Cup finals right now they shouldn't own the top three picks. To the columnist's credit this comedically inaccurate article was shat together prior to game 4 in our series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted May 9, 2009 I didn't say of the playoffs. I said of the Wings. Although I firmly believe that Ozzie is the reason we're still in the playoffs. That's not making Conn Smythe predictions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted May 9, 2009 To even talk of Conn Smythe candidates 3 games into the 2nd round is ridiculous I agree. However, I writer's job is to write about something in time to meet a deadline. Thats why writing is so often sub-par. They've got to make a decision on what to write about, and it aint always easy. Thats why I don't read to many articles. I watch the WIngs, surf LGW, catch a few other playoff games, and i'm good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
